Crunchy Nut and Quinoa Snack Bars

I cannot make it to dinner without an afternoon snack, and these bars were developed to steer those snack-attacks in a healthier direction. I had just started seeing a nutritionist who advised me to not only pre-plan my main meals but also snacks. Great idea!

I love these bars because they include some of my favourite things – healthy nuts and a good dose of protein from the quinoa – and they’re crunchy! They make a perfect travel snack, and they’re filling, too.

You can also tailor this recipe quite easily. Depending on what you have in your pantry (such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, dark chocolate chunks or dried fruit, such as apricots or blueberries) you can alter it to address any craving and snack-attack.
